Chapter 439 There's More to the Story
Pregnant women need a sense of security the most.
What women want is simply responsiveness and accountability in everything.
Finnegan achieved this, so even Joe, who is also a man, had to admire it.
Night fell.
Finnegan and the others arrived at the CC club. After entering the club, Finnegan looked around, and under the guidance of the waiter, they entered a private room.
Finnegan came here to investigate the background of the club's owner.
Just as Finnegan entered the club, Deacon in the office on the top floor received a notification.
Deacon was very surprised that Finnegan would come to his club.
'Is it a coincidence, or he did it on purpose?' he thought.
One of his men suggested, "Deacon, why not find a reason to kick them out?"
"Fool! We are open for business, and there's no reason to kick people out. Doing so will only raise suspicion. You don't need to act anything. Just keep an eye on them. Report to me immediately if there's any movement."
"Yes, sir." The man left.
Niamh, who was sitting silently on the side, spoke up, "Do you have a conflict with Finnegan?"
At this moment, Niamh also sensed that something was amiss; otherwise, Deacon wouldn't have been so helpful to her.
"This is none of your business," Deacon said as he held a cigar. "It's also possible that Finnegan is here because of you."
Niamh sneered, "My mother has confessed, so it has nothing to do with me. Finnegan can't do anything to me either."
Deacon hypocritically smiled and mentioned two names. "Seraphina and Sybil!"
Niamh's expression changed slightly. "Seraphina's death has nothing to do with me, either."
Niamh didn't really know how Seraphina died, but her intuition told her that Deacon was involved.
Niamh continued, "Ophelia is about to give birth. This child is the treasure of Ophelia and Finnegan. If something happens to the baby, it will be a big blow."
"Only women can come up with such sinister schemes. I wouldn't stoop so low as to harm a child. Alright, go out the back door, and don't let anyone see you," Deacon said disdainfully.
Deacon didn't want to waste time talking to Niamh.
Niamh could only rely on Deacon now, so she had to obey him. But she won't let Ophelia off. As Ophelia had ruined what was most important to her, she would do the same to her.
Niamh left through the back door of the club. Near the garbage cans at the back door, she bumped into a garbage collector. A wave of stench hit her, making Niamh nauseous. "Move away. It's too smelly."
Niamh walked away with a look of disgust, holding her nose.
The man apologized with his head down, "I'm sorry."
Niamh didn't say anything more, didn't even bother to look at the man, and just walked away.
After she left, the man raised his head, revealing himself to be Magnus.
Magnus had been investigating Seraphina's death. Since Seraphina was related to Niamh, he followed Niamh to find evidence.
Magnus also got in the car and followed Niamh to a residential area.
Magnus was investigating the relationship between Niamh and Deacon, too. He learned at the police station that Seraphina was poisoned, and he wanted to find out who did it.
Magnus also learned that there was a type of poison that could lie dormant in the body for a long time before acting.
In other words, Seraphina could have been poisoned outside.
When Magnus delivered milk powder to Ophelia, Seraphina hurriedly left, saying she had to work overtime. Magnus asked the factory, only to find that there was no overtime at all.
Magnus had interviewed everyone who shared a dormitory with Seraphina.
Back at the club, Finnegan didn't drink much; just had a few drinks with the others.
They were all familiar with Dovie, and suddenly, the topic of Dovie's death came up.
E-commerce boss Mark said, "Dovie's sudden departure is really regrettable. I remember that I had dinner with her two days before she was hospitalized. I went on a business trip then, and she passed away."
Joe said, "Yes, Dovie was such a good person. Who would have known she would be killed by her own sister?"
Walker said, "Human nature, human heart, and money, these are the best touchstones."
Finnegan said, "This event did indeed occur quite suddenly."
Joe said, "I remember Dovie was in good health. She had a check-up before. How did she get sick so quickly and aggressively? I heard that all her organs failed. Finnegan, as for your mother-in-law's death, could there be something fishy about it?"
